REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
OF SCHOOLS

School Accomplishment

Are Auburn schools reasonably efficient? Are they eco-
nomically administered ?

An efficient school is one in which pupils get the habit of
using their mental and physical powers in ways which are
not only beneficial to themselves but to the community where
they live : If a pupil is a good "school citizen" for twelve or
more years there is great probability that he or she will con-
tinue to be a good citizen after leaving school. If he gets
the habit of gathering such information as will help in solv-
ing his school problems he will be apt to profit from this
habit in meeting the demands of life whatever his profession
or occupations may be. When we see a school in which pupils
are diligently searching for information which will help in
understanding the day's lesson assignments we are justified
in assuming that this same habit will be useful in solving the
larger problems of daily life.

A good school is one in which pupils are actively engaged
in collecting information from every available source, and
are busy in discussing in class the meaning of this informa-
tion and its use in such subjects as history, geography,
science, etc. Such a school is a workshop where information
is manufactured into useful and permanent ideas and not a
mere store-house of second-hand information to be memorized
and then soon forgotten.

In answer to the questions above asked I can say that it is

57

58

my opinion based on careful observation and many discus-
sions with Auburn pupils, both in and out of school, that
Auburn schools for the most part, are decidedly of the "work-
shop" rather than the "store-house" type.

There are, however, ways of verifying an opinion : —

The results of numerous tests and examinations in grades
four to eight, where such measurements are possible, show a
standard of excellence considerable above that of the average
school. This is not a matter of guessing, it is the result of
mathematical analysis of school results.

Nevertheless, there is abundant opportunity for still better
accomplishment.

Improvement of Buildings

Auburn is to be congratulated on its good fortune in hav-
ing Manchester City Water pipes extended to part of the
town. It is especially fortunate for the Severance School
because it has made it possible to eliminate the unsatisfactory
Chemical Closets and replace these with up-to-date non-
freezing flush closets and septic-tank.

In accomplishing this the local Parent-Teachers Associa-
tion contributed liberally by paying for the service pipe and
bubbler. At the same time and for the same good purpose
'Mr. Shaw, Supt. of Manchester Water Works, permitted his
men to dig the trench and connect and lay the pipe from the
main to the school house.

Thus it has been made possible for a first class sanitary
system to be installed at a cost of $460 which is at least $200
less than might ordinarily be expected.

The savings made from various items of the budget have
been sufficient to pay for this improvement without asking
for a special appropriation.
